BRADYs of TN

I am looking for a John BRADY b.abt.1831-34 in TN? The birth place could be anywhere in the 4 state area (TN,VA,NC,KY) I guess. The last definitive info I have on him is the 1850 Cocke Co., TN census where he is living with the Thomas HARMON/HARMAN family. They are listed as white while my John is age 15 listed as mulatto. Funny, Thomas' two daughters were named Pocahontas and Niceti. John apparently assimilated when in 1860, same said county, he is listed as white with a wife and children. We know he married Harriet DICKSON/DIXON, daughter of Thomas DICKSON/DIXON of VA. He lived in Cocke County also. I have reason to believe my BRADYs may have been African American or American Indian. I have found quite a few on the Cherokee and Creek rolls but not anyone I recognize. Does anyone have more info on the BRADYs of TN who were listed as FPC or mulatto? There is a Jesse BRADY in Greene Co.,TN. listed as white and mulatto and Greene Co. is the next county over from Cocke Co. Thank you for your time, Lynn
